A soft pastel layout for 2Crafty Chipboard

Hi there creative souls.
I'm here today to share my latest design for 2Crafty Chipboard:

"Friends"

For this layout, I wanted to steer away from my usual bright colours, and have a go at a more pastel colour palette.


I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

*NEW* "6" Floral Cluster Border"
"Lattice Leaves"
"Friends Loopy Font Title"
"Mini Branches"
"Polaroid Frames"




I firstly coated ALL pieces with white gesso.

I absolutely LOVE that NEW 6"Floral Cluster Border.
I couldn't wait to use it.
I coloured each flower individually with watercolour paint.
Once dry I added a few simple pen marks.


I just love the mottled look this technique creates.
Soft and lovely.

I did the same to the "Mini Branches"
I love the effect of the pen marks.
It gives them an arty/whimsical feel.


The "Polaroid Frame" was painted with a grey/silver watercolour and then swiped with white gesso.


I simply added white paint to the "Friends Loopy Title" and the "Lattice Leaves".
I wanted that fresh simplicity!


There you are, I hope you like this one.
It was fun to try something a little different.


I'll see you again soon.
